[WEB4LIB] Re: New search engine under development

There is a lot of talk about the size of the logo on the site, which I agree is way too big. However, I can't believe no one has brought up the fact that the navigation buttons are different shades of blue and they change to different shades of blue with the mouse over. When you click a nav button there is no good way for the user to know it was clicked. In my opinion, the navigational situation on the web site is worse than the logo size.
